You can generally size man up by the
fit of his clothes, and if there is anything
that will make one tired, oh! SO tired, it is
the sight of a man whose garments hang on
him like "a shirt on handspike." Nothing
is easier than to get decently fitted-if you
will only go to the right place. We make a
speciality of correct fits; in fact, our reputa-
ton depends on it, and we would rather
lose a sale than send out into the world a
suit that would bring us into ridicule We
ticle of summer wear henceforth
The high-class clothing - Underwear,
Neckwear, Hosiery and Gents Furnishings
handled by us must go at buyers figures
We have made up our minds to lose-as we
always do at the end of the season-and will
pocket our losses gracefully.

AN INSPECTING TOUR.
The Pl1nt Railroad Oflcers Making
Their Annual Trip

Their Annual Trip.
The annual inspection of the Charleston
and Savannah Railroad was finished Fri
day. The officers of the Plant system thor,
oughly inspected the line, mile by mile, and
were were satisfied with the result
Monday the inspectors will start out on the
Savannah, Florida and Western line and
will be gone some ten days, visit
ing and thoroughly inspecting all the
divisions of the system. They travel over
the road very slowly, at about twelve miles
per hour, and every portion is carefully
scrutinized. Every switch, frog, and sid
ing is seen to, and few things escape their
vigilant eyes. The reports made are all
systematically arranged, the final compila-
ton shows the exact condition of every
mile of the road. The inspection car is an
open one, provided with a cow-catcher in
front, and Is pushed ahead of the engine. In
this way every part of the road-bed
is subject to their scrutiny, and any
thing out of the way rarely escapes notice.
The different portions of the inspection is
divided up as follows:
On line and service-Messrs II. w. Reed,
Roadmaster of the Savannah. Florida and
Western, J. w. Craig, Roadmaster of the
Charleston and Savannah. and A. Gartner,
Of the Chief Engineers Office.

chinist Savannah, Florida and Western, II.

Acts of the County Commissioners
Approved.

Editor Morning News: 1 view with
pleasure The late 1T wise conclusion arrived
at by the County Commissioners in estab-
fishing q convict camp in the western
suburbs of our city for the purpose of drain
ing the same; also as well the early and
contemplated extension of Bay and Gwin-
nett streets in that direction.
For the past ten years or more the entire
county labor has been expended in the
drainage of the eastern and southern por-
tons of the county, TO the absolute exclu-
sion of the western, which contains in
large degree the most valuable of all the
taxable property of the county, particu-
llrly that portion situated north of the
Central railroad and immediately west of
the city and the Ocean Steamship Com
pany's whnrf. where the Vale Royal Mills
and the Cotton Seed OH Mills have located
their splendid sites, and expended large
sums in the conduct of extensive enter
prises.
And hereto the city is not disinterested,
for the large area, composing the water
works tract with its splendid building and
machiueryl, if properly drained and made
accessible 10y thoroughfares, would be a
source of extensive revenue to the city and
county Adjoining this is the Jasper
Spring tract the race course and the Her
mitage, all places OF pleasure, interest and
note, which must eventually be-
come, with the proper facilities
of ingrcss and drainage at no
remote day the manufacturing district of
the city. Therefore let US have for this sec
ton good drainage, with its natural accom-
paniment, pure aud fresh air
Also give us ample roads and easy access,
thereby encouraging enterprise, industry
and capital. Then indeed, rs il touched by
u mnGic wand, will the duh waste and
thriftless plains "bloom us the rose"

Upon an Idiot Girl
Constable John Burke went to Monteith
station yesterday and brought in negro
mon named William jackson, who is
charged with most brutal assault upon a
negro girl named Ida Heard, who is de-
formed, an epileptic and an idiot The
charge is that on May 81 Jackson took her
into the forest to get some wood for
her TO take back to her mother,
and while she was there he
committed a fiendish ourage and tore the
girls body frightfully. The matter became
known, and Justice Van Winkler, of Mon
teith, issued warrant for his arrest, but not
being able to get his man down here he re-
quested Justice Russell to make out a war
rant. This Justice Russell did, and yester-
day he sent Mr.. Burke up to make the
arrest. Just as the constable reached Mon
teith station jackson entered the depot, and
he was promptly nabbed Ida Heard is so
badly deformed that she walks ON her hands
and feet both. She is afflicted most unfor-
rlnately and may die from the injuries in
0cted upon her by jackson, who is
